Applied Printing Technologies -- Full-service Approach

A brief historical perspective on APT is in order. When Mort Zuckerman acquired U.S. News & World Report, included in the transaction was a prepress house that was doing work for the magazine. That company eventually became Applied Graphics Technologies (AGT). Shortly thereafter, AGT began to expand its base, acquiring printers such as Fleetwood Litho, Lasky, Meehan Tooker and Infiniti Color Graphics. It was a complementary fit—AGT provided prepress services and the acquired printing operations, later dubbed Applied Printing Technologies, handled the printing and finishing.
